Top 10 Stoner Movies

The 10 Greatest Stoner Movies Of All Time

When it comes to film genres, one of the most highly treasured -- though only semi-official -- ones is the “stoner movie.” The loose definition of a stoner movie allows cinephiles and/or drug enthusiasts to include movies featuring characters who engage in their favorite recreational activity (a la Cheech and Chong), or mind-bending concepts that attempt to simulate a drug trip for the viewer (Enter the Void).

Currently in limited release is the long-gestating fantasy/adventure/ comedy/horror film Knights of Badassdom (available On Demand and digital February 11th). In it, a group of LARPers find themselves in an anything-but-fake battle of their lives when they accidentally conjure up a succubus straight from hell. With a cast that includes Peter Dinklage, Steve Zahn, Summer Glau, Danny Pudi and Ryan Kwanten, and a premise sure to amuse the most stupefied of viewers, Knights of Badassdom is practically guaranteed to join the ranks of beloved stoner movies.

In our excitement, we’ve decided to put together a primer for all you cinema lovers interested in the fine art of the stoner movie. These 10 movies are guaranteed to give you laughs, chills, deep insights, fart jokes and just maybe, a little contact buzz.
